Energy‐sensitive calorimetric detectors that operate at low temperatures (“cryogenic
detectors”) have recently been applied for the first time as ion detectors in time‐of‐flight …

Sterile neutrinos are natural extensions to the standard model of particle physics and
provide a possible portal to the dark sector. We report a new search for the existence of sub …

Cryogenic detectors operated at temperatures below 1 K offer an order of magnitude higher
energy resolution than conventional semiconductor-based energy-dispersive detectors, and …

Radiation Detection: Concepts, Methods, and Devices provides a modern overview of
radiation detection devices and radiation measurement methods. The book topics have …

We describe the operation and performance of a prototype microcalorimeter “energy-
dispersive”(non-dispersive) X-ray spectrometer (μcal EDS) developed at NIST for use in X …

Many scientific and industrial applications call for quantum-efficient high-energy-resolution
microcalorimeters for the measurement of x rays. The applications driving the development …

Superconducting tunnel junctions STJs as x-ray detectors allow the combination of excellent
energy resolution, low energy threshold, good count rate capability, and high quantum …

Analytical instruments or scientific instruments are indispensable for scientific research and
industry. The analytical instruments require a detector that converts physical quantities to be …

The nonequilibrium state of a superconductor caused by an external source (eg, x or γ rays)
and its relaxation dynamics are studied. Microscopic theory allows one to evaluate the …

We have built a high-resolution high-efficiency superconducting soft x-ray spectrometer for
synchrotron-based fluorescence-detected absorption spectroscopy. The sensor is a 3× 3 …
